A team of researchers has recorded the brain activity of 50 people wearing an electroencephalogram headset while they looked at a series of 500 images designed specifically to elicit unique responses from person to person, for instance, a slice of pizza, a boat, Anne Hathaway, the word 'conundrum.' They found that participants' brains reacted differently to each image, enough that a computer system was able to identify each volunteer's 'brainprint' with 100 percent accuracy. So you don't just think you're a unique snowflake, your thinking is a unique snowflake

ComScore, an online measurement specialist, has released new data that shows that less users are using desktop devices to access the Internet and are instead browsing on their smartphones and tablets. Yeah, things haven't been very Politically Correct lately

How shocking!
What might they find next time? The average Internet access speed steadily increasing? Lumia market share plummeting?

A recent DZone post lamented how logging hours makes the author “die a little inside each time”. I used to feel the same way. Then I grew up and got over it. "Are you going to go ahead and have those TPS reports for us this afternoon?"
It seems somewhat appropriate to have these two next to one another

There needs to be an equivalent to the DevOps movement but dedicated to reducing the cost and manual overheads involved in managing developers - I shall call it "ManOps"...
The sharp-eyed may mention there is no "Dev" component. This is by design

A security update at BT Internet backfired on Tuesday — redirecting many customers' emails to a random inbox belonging to someone called Steve. Not a good day to start trying Inbox Zero

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Several days ago, I was gazing at the Universal Install Script comic by Randall Munroe, wondering if he may not have solved all the world’s problems, save for the usual famine, war, poverty, education, corruption, and so on. Because you knew someone would try it (and of course it sort of works)

These theories are only that the meteorite was the last hit for them. But it was the "killer hit" and nobody knows, whether it was only a crisis from which they recovered.
